Go, Off to College (Extra Chapter Thanks to Half-Clothed, Half-Hidden Alliance Leader)
"Chen Xiaoting, stop drinking and eat some vegetables!"
Shen Qi didn't want to get his deskmate drunk; women can be quite troublesome when they're drunk.
"Today... I'm especially happy... Thank you... Shen... Hehe... Xiaoqi..." Chen Xiaoting was quite happy. She performed beyond her expectations and was admitted to the University of Media. Her score was more than 70 points higher than the Provincial First Class- tier university admission line, and she was just accepted by the University of Media.
The University of Media is also located in the capital, Chen Xiaoting chose to major in journalism and communication, a major that accepts both arts and science students.
Shen Qi originally wanted to invite three people today: Xu Rui, Chen Xiaoting, and Gu Xiaodan.
Gu Xiaodan didn't do well on the exam, barely passing the second-tier university entrance exam cutoff. He could only choose to attend an ordinary local university. He has lost contact with Shen Qi, who is unable to find him.
In a few days, Shen Qi will report to Yenching University, Xu Rui to Capital University of Science and Technology, and Chen Xiaoting to University of Media.
The three were classmates in high school and went to university in the same city. That's fate; they can't be separated.
Actually, both Shen Qi and Xu Rui were admitted to universities through direct admission. Shen Qi took the college entrance examination mainly to boost his academic record.
Chen Xiaoting is the only one who was admitted to a key university through the regular college entrance examination.
Chen Xiaoting tilted her head back and downed another glass of draft beer, then downed two in a row.
"This... Honest Chen can be quite domineering when he's not being honest!" Xu Rui was not about to lose to Chen Xiaoting in drinking, so he immediately finished a full glass of draft beer.
"Chen Xiaoting, can you stop drinking? The three of us are heading to the capital soon, so we're getting together before we leave. A few drinks are fine, but it won't be fun if we get too drunk." Shen Qi handed Chen Xiaoting a bottle of mineral water. "Drink some water, sober up."
Bang!
Chen Xiaoting slammed her head onto the dining table and lost consciousness.
"Fine, Chen Xiaoting collapsed for no reason, is that interesting, Xu Rui?" Shen Qi said unhappily.
"So, she wasn't Chen Yibei... but Chen Liangbei!" Xu Rui laughed loudly, "Haha, I underestimated Chen Liangbei, haha!"
"Hey, Chen Xiaoting, wake up." Shen Qi patted Chen Xiaoting's head and asked, "Can you take a Didi home by yourself?"
Chen Xiaoting did not react.
Obviously not.
"And you, Xu Rui, are you able to go home by yourself?"
"Among men, Red Hare is the best; among horses, Xu Rui is the finest. I, Xu, am invincible under heaven!"
"..." Shen Qi was speechless. Damn it, so Xu Rui can't drink either. He got this drunk after just a little beer. Is it possible that I'm the best drinker here?"
Shen Qi took a taxi and drove Chen Xiaoting and Xu Rui home one after the other.
In the following days, the three of them packed their bags at home.
In the golden autumn of September, three young people, Shen Qi, Xu Rui, and Chen Xiaoting, bid farewell to their parents and families and traveled together by high-speed rail northward to the great capital, embarking on their journey of learning.
Shen Qi and Xu Rui first took Chen Xiaoting to the University of Media, where they saw her meet up with the senior University of Media who were welcoming new students. Then, Shen Qi and Xu Rui went to their respective universities to register.
Yenching University, University of Media of China, and Capital University of Science and Technology are not far apart. Shen Qi chose the Mathematics Department, Chen Xiaoting chose the Department of Journalism, and Xu Rui accepted the transfer from the University of Science and Technology and went to the Material Science and Engineering.
A new phase of life has begun. Three new college students from the south, each with their own aspirations, are starting to integrate into their new environment.
Shen Qi was very familiar with Yenching University; this was his third time visiting the university.
While other freshmen are escorted to their dormitories by older students, Shen Qi's treatment was slightly different; he was personally greeted and escorted to his dormitory by the Mathematics Department's counselor.
The dormitory is a four-person room, with computer desks underneath the four beds.
As soon as Shen Qi entered the dormitory, his three roommates, who had arrived several hours earlier, all stood up to greet him.
"The big boss is here." Zhou Yu'an naturally took Shen Qi's suitcase.
"You've worked hard, boss." Cai Qing helped Shen Qi carry his heavy backpack. "Wow, this is so heavy! Shen Qi, you must be exhausted from carrying this all the way here. I can feel it through the bag; it's a whole sack of books!"
Luo Ji handed Shen Qi a bottle of drink. "Boss, I know you don't like iced cola, so I bought an iced Fanta. It's pretty hot today, help cool down..."
"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite." Shen Qi casually picked up a plastic bag containing southern snacks such as Wife Cake and pork jerky. He distributed the snacks to his three roommates as a way of saying hello.
There was no need for introductions between them, as they all knew each other.
Shen Qi and Zhou Yu'an have known each other since they were in the National Training Team for the International Mathematical Olympiad. They won the IMO team championship together, were admitted to the Mathematics Department at Yenching University together, and participated in Yenching University's Golden Autumn Golden Autumn Camp together last autumn.
Cai Qing and Luo Ji were also trainees at the Golden Autumn Camp, so all four of them in the dormitory knew each other.
The School of Mathematical Sciences comprises five departments: Mathematics Department, Probability Statistics, Scientific and Engineering Computing, Information Science, and Financial Mathematics Department.
As you can tell from their names, the last four departments are more application-oriented. The core department of the School of Mathematics is the Mathematics Department, and all four of Shen Qi's roommates are freshmen in the Mathematics Department.
In fact, the Mathematics Department is divided into two specializations: basic mathematics and applied mathematics. Basic mathematics is a specialization that is close to pure theoretical research. This circle is very small, but the great talents often come from this small circle.
This year's Mathematics Department has only one class of about thirty students. More than half of them came from last year's Yenching University Golden Autumn Camp and were admitted through the competition-based admission model, while a small portion were admitted through the national college entrance examination.
The counselor gathered the first-year students from the Mathematics Department for a short meeting to explain the rules, regulations, and important points.
Ou Ye reported for duty as scheduled. She was the only girl in the class, and she didn't talk to the boys in the class, except for occasionally exchanging a few words with Shen Qi and Zhou Yu'an, such as "oh," "ah," "um," and "hehe."
"Welcome back to Yenching University, everyone! Before military training, as is customary, we need to elect a class monitor." The counselor looked around and said enthusiastically, "How about this, we won't do any complicated secret ballots. The position of class monitor is mainly based on voluntary participation and having a passionate heart to serve the students. Those who aspire to be class monitor, please raise your hands!"
Then...
Silence.
No one raised their hand.
The counselor maintained an awkward yet polite smile, "Hehe."
"Hehe." All the freshmen chuckled foolishly, pretending to be naive.
"No one wants to be class monitor?" The counselor was very disappointed. Perhaps everyone was shy since they were new here? They weren't exactly close enough to Big Treasure Sword together, but most of them weren't strangers either.
At this moment, a boy spoke up, "Let me be fair, here's the IMO champion, the Physics Competition champion, and the top scorer in the college entrance examination. If he doesn't raise his hand, who dares to?" After saying that, he glanced at Shen Qi.
"Hey, Li Zhenqiang, technical matters are technical matters, and administrative matters are administrative matters. Please don't confuse them," Shen Qi said. He hadn't raised his hand to run for class monitor.
"Yes, yes, it's an injustice that Shen Qi isn't class monitor!" the other students chimed in.
"It's not appropriate, classmates. I, Shen Qi, am not worthy of the position of class monitor." Shen Qi waved his hands repeatedly, politely declining the students' invitation.
